How do I (and should I) become an SEO consultant

So, I've been doing SEO for nearly 20 years now, but only for myself. I own a bunch of websites that pull in around 2.5 million uniques pcm and generate a six figure income every year. I have done this single handed. At the moment most of my sites look after themselves, with fairly regular, predictable input.

Given that I can put my money where my mouth is in terms of SEO I'd like to start doing some work for other people. I have done this in the past, but nothing structured, and it's been more for my benefit as I enjoy the challenge.

My question is what do I need to do to transfer my (often intuitive) skills and knowledge to a marketable prospect? My expertise is mainly in organic traffic and on-page / site structure. I understand link-building, but am more of a fan of create quality content and the rest will happen...

As a start I would be hoping to target websites with problems that can be fixed, rather than building on already successful sites, i.e. low hanging fruit.

I guess the other part of the question is what would I need in terms of tools and what do small / mid-sized clients expect to see in terms of process / approach?

Sorry if this is all a bit vague, but any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
